Nowadays it is “fashionable” to talk about green alternative and arrange it to fit with the lifestyle as much as possible. Fashion in general is somewhat connected to imitation. And imitation, to say the least, is a parasitic condition- you use more than you create. We are undermining the issue on purpose, in order to show the necessity to understand novelty on conceptual level, during the establishment of new tendencies (In this case phenomenon linked to the green alternative).

For us, mostly “imitators”, the problem becomes more obscure, when we talk about “sustainable development”- the system that was born “somewhere” in the West and that haven’t yet developed an established form. However, one thing is clear: changing the difficult ecological or economic (even healthcare) background is clearly defined by using principles and aims of sustainable development. It is paradoxical, but despite such determination, it is declared almost on the level of United Nations that the idea is brilliant, but we have “breach” in the issue of implementing it. So we don’t have a “weapon” and relevant skills to turn “sustainability” into reality.

This is where the field for our actions is freed and we gain the opportunity to participate in the formation process of open concept of “sustainable development”.

“Cultural landscapes” is the attempt to use these opportunities, that approaches the context of sustainable development from several perspectives and shows the perspective of using and assimilating the issue as deeply as possible in the format of research presentation, exhibition and radio-discussion.
